Abstract: A damper apparatus for reducing or braking a movement of a second part that is movable relative to a first part includes a first damper component connected to the first part, a second damper component connected to the first second part, and a damping mechanism. The first damper component is movable relative to the second damper component and the relative movement is or can be decelerated due to the damping mechanism. A switching mechanism with a first switching contact and a second switching contact is arranged or integrated on the second damper component. At least one actuating region is configured on the first damper component such that, when the first damper component moves relative to the second damper component, an electrically conductive connection is established or disconnected between the first switching contact and the second switching contact using the at least one actuating region of the first damper component.

Abstract: A damping apparatus for glove compartments, includes the following: an elastic element designed so as to be stretched by a relative movement of two components that are movable in relation to one another, whereby a damping effect of the relative movement of the components is produced; a stopping apparatus designed so as to contact the elastic element during the relative movement of the two movable components and to deform such that, from the start of the contact, there results a change in the damping effect caused by the elastic element.
